(b) (i) each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than any such shares owned by Parent or Merger Sub in a fiduciary, representative or other capacity on behalf of other Persons, whether or not held in a separate account) shall be cancelled, and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto and (ii) each share of Company Common Stock held by any wholly owned Subsidiary of either the Company or Parent (other than Merger Sub) immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than shares held in a fiduciary, representative or other capacity on behalf of other Persons, whether or not held in a separate account) shall be converted into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation such that the ownership percentage of any such Subsidiary in the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Merger Effective Time shall equal the ownership percentage of such Subsidiary in the Company immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time;

(c) each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute (together with any share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation described in Section 2.03(b)(ii)) the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation; and

(d) all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and (i) each share of Company Common Stock that was, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, represented by a certificate (each, a “Certificate”) and (ii) each uncertificated share of Company Common Stock which, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, was registered to a holder on the stock transfer books of the Company (an “Uncertificated Share”) shall (in each case, other than with respect to Excluded Shares) thereafter represent only the right to receive (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) with respect to the Share Consideration, the right to receive (1) any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.04(f) and (2) any cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.08, in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with Section 2.04, without interest.

Section 2.04 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) for the purpose of exchanging (i) Certificates or (ii) Uncertificated Shares for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock. As of the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.04 through the Exchange Agent, (x) certificates (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.03(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (y) cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and (z) New CVR Certificates representing the New CVRs issuable pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and the New CVR Agreement. Parent agrees to make available, directly or indirectly, to the Exchange Agent from time to time as needed additional cash sufficient to pay any dividends or other distributions to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(f) and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.08. Promptly after the Merger Effective Time (and in no event more than two (2) Business Days following the Closing Date), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Merger Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and substantially finalized prior to the Merger Effective Time and which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange. All certificates (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) representing shares of Parent Common Stock and New CVR Certificates and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided that such cash shall only be invested in the manner provided in the Exchange Agent Agreement; and provided, further, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such consideration or cash in lieu of fractional interests; provided, further, that to the extent necessary to pay the Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly cause to be provided additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such consideration in the amount of any such losses. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, Parent upon termination of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of the Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends and distributions with respect to the Share Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.08 and Section 2.04(f)). The shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Share Consideration, at Parent’s option, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical certificate is requested by a holder of shares of Company Common Stock or is otherwise required under Applicable Law.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration (or cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or any dividends and distributions with respect to the Share Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.08 or Section 2.04(f)) is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or similar Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(d) Upon the Merger Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Merger Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends and distributions with respect to the Share Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.08 and Section 2.04(f)) with respect thereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in, or as otherwise contemplated by, this Article II (including this Section 2.04).

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months following the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent or as otherwise instructed by Parent, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends and distributions with respect to the Share Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.08 and Section 2.04(f)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts properly paid to a public official in compliance with applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Following the surrender of any Certificates, along with the delivery of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or the transfer of any Uncertificated Shares, in each case as provided in this Section 2.04, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name the shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Share Consideration have been registered, (i) in connection with the payment of the Share Consideration, (x) the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 2.08, and (y) the aggregate amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the Merger Effective Time that were paid prior to the time of such surrender or transfer, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date after the payment of the Merger Consideration, the amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to whole shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Share Consideration with a record date on or after the Merger Effective Time and prior to the time of such surrender or transfer and with a payment date subsequent to the time of such surrender or transfer. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Share Consideration, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.08, shall be paid to the holder of any Certificates not surrendered or of any Uncertificated Shares not transferred until such Certificates are surrendered and the holder thereof delivers a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or such Uncertificated Shares are transferred, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 2.04.

(g) The payment of any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred by a holder of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger, and the filing of any related Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes and fees, shall be the responsibility solely of such holder.

Section 2.05 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and that are held by a stockholder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (such stockholders, the “Dissenting Stockholders” and, such shares of Company Common Stock, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (and, at the Merger Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn or lost such rights, the Dissenting Shares held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted, as of the Merger Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.03(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends and distributions with respect thereto as contemplated by Section 2.04(f) and Section 2.08), without interest. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, and Parent shall have the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to all such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, settle or offer or agree to settle any such demands. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.04 to pay for shares of Company Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent upon demand.

Section 2.06 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Stock Options. At the Merger Effective Time, each compensatory option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under any Company Stock Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (each, a “Company Stock Option”), whether or not vested shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof be:

(i) if such Company Stock Option is an In-the-Money Option, assumed by Parent and converted into (A) an option (an “Assumed In-the-Money Option”) to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions and any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Merger) as applied to each such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, shares of Parent Common Stock, except that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, subject to such Assumed In-the-Money Option shall equal the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, and the per-share exercise price, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, shall equal the quotient of (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, divided by (y) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, and (B) the right to receive (1) if such In-the-Money Option was vested prior to the Merger Effective Time, one New CVR for each share of Company Common Stock underlying such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time to be delivered within five (5) Business Days following the Merger Effective Time or (2) if such In-the-Money Option was not vested immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, immediately upon, and subject to, the vesting of the Assumed In-the-Money Option, the Unvested Equity Award CVR Consideration (as defined in Section 2.06(e) below); or

(ii) if such Company Stock Option is an Out-of-the-Money Option, assumed by Parent and converted into an option (an “Assumed Out-of-the-Money Stock Option”) to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions and any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Merger) as applied to each such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, shares of Parent Common Stock, except that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, subject to such Assumed Out-of-the-Money Stock Option shall equal the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Out-of-the-Money Option Exchange Ratio, and the per-share exercise price, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, shall equal the quotient of (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, divided by (y) the Out-of-the-Money Option Exchange Ratio;

provided that each Company Stock Option that is an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code, and each Company Stock Option shall be adjusted in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.

(b) Company Restricted Stock Units. At the Merger Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Company Common Stock outstanding under any Company Stock Plan that vests solely based on the passage of time (each, a “Company RSU Award”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into (i) a restricted unit award (each, an “Assumed Restricted Unit Award”) that settles in a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Company RSU Award multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares, and (ii) the right to receive, immediately upon, and subject to, the vesting of the Assumed Restricted Unit Award, the Unvested Equity Award CVR Consideration. Each Assumed Restricted Unit Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (including any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Merger).

(c) Company Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. At the Merger Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Company Common Stock outstanding under any Company Stock Plan that vests based on the achievement of performance goals (each, a “Company PSU Award”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into (i) a restricted stock unit award (each, an “Assumed Performance Unit Award”) that settles in a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Company PSU Award (with such number of shares determined by deeming the applicable performance goals to be achieved at the greater of (A) the target level and (B) the actual level of achievement through the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which the Merger Effective Time occurs as determined by the Management Compensation and Development Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the Merger Effective Time) multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares, and (ii) the right to receive, immediately upon, and subject to, the vesting of the Assumed Performance Unit Award, the Unvested Equity Award CVR Consideration. Each Assumed Performance Unit Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company PSU Award (other than performance-based vesting conditions) immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (including any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Merger).

(d) Company Restricted Stock Awards. At the Merger Effective Time, each restricted stock award with respect to shares of Company Common Stock outstanding under any Company Stock Plan that vests based on the passage of time and/or the achievement of performance goals (each, a “Company RSA”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into (i) a restricted stock award (each, an “Assumed Restricted Stock Award”) that settles in a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Company RSA multiplied by the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares, and (ii) the right to receive, immediately upon, and subject to, the vesting of the Assumed Restricted Stock Award, the Unvested Equity Award CVR Consideration. Each Assumed Restricted Stock Award shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company RSA immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (including any terms and conditions relating to accelerated vesting upon a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Merger).

(e) Unvested Equity Award CVR Consideration. With respect to each In-the-Money Option that is unvested as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, each Company RSU Award, each Company PSU Award, and each Company RSA, the “Unvested Equity Award CVR Consideration” means either (i) if the Vesting Date (as defined below) occurs prior to the Milestone Payment Record Date (as defined in the New CVR Agreement) and prior to the Termination Date (as defined in the New CVR Agreement), one New CVR in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying such In-the-Money Option, Company RSU Award, Company PSU Award, or Company RSA, as applicable, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, (ii) if the Vesting Date occurs on or after the Milestone Payment Record Date, a cash payment equal to the Milestone Payment (as defined in the New CVR Agreement) in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying such In-the-Money Option, Company RSU Award, Company PSU Award, or Company RSA, as applicable, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, or (iii) if the Vesting Date occurs on or after the Termination Date and the Milestone (as defined in the New CVR Agreement) was not achieved prior to the Termination Date, no additional consideration. As used in this Section 2.06(e), “Vesting Date” means the date on which the Assumed In-the-Money Option, Assumed Restricted Unit Award, Assumed Performance Unit Award, or Assumed Restricted Stock Award that was issued in exchange for the applicable In-the-Money Option, Company RSU Award, Company PSU Award, or Company RSA, as applicable, becomes vested. For purposes of this Section 2.06(e), the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying each Company PSU Award immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be determined in accordance with Section 2.06(c)(i).

(f) Reservation of Shares. As soon as practicable following the Closing Date (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date), Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) or, if required, Form S-3 (or any successor form), with respect to the issuance of (i) the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Assumed In-the-Money Options, the Assumed Out-of-the-Money Options, the Assumed Restricted Unit Awards, the Assumed Performance Unit Awards, and the Assumed Restricted Stock Awards, and (ii) the New CVRs to holders of Assumed In-the-Money Options that are unvested as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, Assumed Restricted Unit Awards, Assumed Performance Unit Awards, and Assumed Restricted Stock Awards, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as the Assumed In-the-Money Options, the Assumed Out-of-the-Money Options, the Assumed Restricted Unit Awards, the Assumed Performance Unit Awards, and the Assumed Restricted Stock Awards remain outstanding.

(g) Board Actions. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (and/or the Management Compensation and Development Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company) and the Board of Directors of Parent (and/or the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Parent) shall adopt such resolutions as are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.06.

Section 2.07 Adjustments. Without limiting or affecting any of the provisions of Section 6.01 or Section 7.01, if, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Merger Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), merger, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, subdivision or other similar transaction, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to eliminate the effect of such event on the Merger Consideration or any such other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.08 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or fractional New CVRs shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the Merger a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock or a fractional New CVR (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares delivered by such holder), as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount (rounded down to the nearest cent) representing such holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent on behalf of all such holders of shares of Parent Common Stock or New CVRs, respectively, that would otherwise be issued.

Section 2.09 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any Applicable Law, including federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law. If the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, so withholds and pays over all amounts so withheld to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.10 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a customary bond issued for lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificates, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will, if such holder has otherwise delivered a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II (including Section 2.04).

Section 2.11 Further Assurances. At and after the Merger Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Subject to Section 11.05, except (i) as disclosed in any publicly available Parent SEC Document or (ii) as set forth in the Parent’s Disclosure Schedule, Parent and Merger Sub jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company that:

Section 5.01 Corporate Existence and Power. Parent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and Merger Sub is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all requisite corporate power and authority required to own or lease all of its properties or assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Parent directly owns all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Merger Sub. Prior to the date of this Agreement, Parent has made available to the Company true and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of each of Parent and Merger Sub, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Parent Organizational Documents”).

The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock at a duly called and held meeting of Parent’s stockholders at which a quorum is present approving the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Parent Share Issuance”) is the only vote of the holders of any of Parent’s capital stock necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger (the “Parent Stockholder Approval”). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of each of Parent and Merger Sub enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms (subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions), and the New CVR Agreement will, at the time of its execution by Parent, be duly executed and delivered by Parent and constitute a valid, legal and binding agreement of Parent enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms (subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions).

(b) At a meeting duly called and held, the Board of Directors of Parent adopted resolutions (i) determining that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Parent Share Issuance) are fair to and in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders, (ii) approving, adopting and declaring advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Parent Share Issuance), (iii) directing that the approval of the Parent Share Issuance be submitted to a vote at a meeting of Parent’s stockholders and (iv) recommending approval of the Parent Share Issuance by Parent’s stockholders (such recommendation, the “Parent Board Recommendation”). Except as permitted by Section 7.02, the Board of Directors of Parent has not subsequently rescinded, modified or withdrawn any of the foregoing resolutions.

(c) The Board of Directors of Merger Sub has unanimously adopted resolutions (i) determining that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) are fair to and in the best interests of Merger Sub and its stockholder, (ii) approving, adopting and declaring advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), (iii) directing that the approval and adoption of this Agreement be submitted to a vote of Merger Sub’s stockholder and (iv) recommending approval and adoption of this Agreement by Merger Sub’s stockholder.

Section 5.03 Governmental Authorization.

The Debt Commitment Letter and any other debt commitment letter (including any replacement of the Debt Commitment Letter and related fee letter in connection with any Alternative Financing) executed in accordance with Section 7.06, as replaced, amended, supplemented, modified or waived in accordance with Section 7.06, including all exhibits, schedules, and annexes to such letters, are hereinafter referred to together as the “Debt Commitment Letters”. The financing contemplated pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters is hereinafter referred to as the “Debt Financing”.

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, and to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, and enforceable in accordance with its terms against Parent, and to the knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto, in each case, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions.

The consummation of the Debt Financing is subject to no conditions precedent other than those expressly set forth in the copy of the Debt Commitment Letter delivered to the Company, and there are no contingencies that would permit the Financing Sources to reduce the total amount of the Debt Financing other than those expressly set forth in the copy of the Debt Commitment Letter delivered to the Company on or prior to the date hereof. Except for any engagement letters or related fee letters related to the permanent financing referred to in the Debt Commitment Letters, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no side letters or other agreements, Contracts or arrangements to which Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates are a party related to the funding of the Debt Financing.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Approval Time”) (and in no event after the Company Approval Time), the Board of Directors of the Company receives a bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof which has not resulted from a violation of this Section 6.02, the Board of Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (x) contact the Third Party that has made such Company Acquisition Proposal in order to ascertain facts or clarify terms for the sole purpose of the Board of Directors of the Company informing itself about such Company Acquisition Proposal and such Third Party and (y) subject to compliance with this Section 6.02(b), Section 6.02(c) and Section 6.02(e), (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party that, subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 6.02(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a Company Superior Proposal or an unsolicited bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal, (ii) furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with confidentiality and use provisions no less favorable and other provisions no less favorable in the aggregate, in each case, to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, a copy of which shall be provided, promptly after its execution, to Parent for informational purposes; provided that all such non-public information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party, and (iii) following receipt of a Company Superior Proposal after the date of this Agreement, (A) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (B) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01(d)(iii) to enter into a definitive agreement providing for such Company Superior Proposal, but in the case of this clause (iii) only if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from (x) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) under the 1934 Act with regard to a Company Acquisition Proposal, so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 6.02, or (y) making any required disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with Applicable Law; provided that any Company Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal may only be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.02(b), Section 6.02(c) and Section 6.02(e).

The Company shall thereafter (x) keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of any material changes in the status and details of any such Company Acquisition Proposal or request and (y) as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than twenty four (24) hours after receipt) provide to Parent copies of all material correspondence and written materials sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describes any terms or conditions of any Company Acquisition Proposal (as well as written summaries of any material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions of any Company Acquisition Proposal).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the Company Approval Time (and in no event after the Company Approval Time), the Board of Directors of the Company may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Company Intervening Event if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that (i) the Company shall first notify Parent in writing of its intention to take such action, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Company Intervening Event, (ii) if requested by Parent, the Company and its Representatives shall discuss and negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) during the four (4) Business Day period following such notice regarding any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement in response to such Company Intervening Event, and (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company shall not effect any Company Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Company Intervening Event unless, after the four (4) Business Day period described in the foregoing clause (ii), the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement during such four (4) Business Day period, that the failure to take such action would continue to be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(e) Without limiting or affecting Section 6.02(a), Section 6.02(b) or Section 6.02(c), the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Company Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Superior Proposal unless (i) the Company first notifies Parent, in writing at least four (4) Business Days before taking such action, that the Company intends to take such action, which notice attaches the most current version of each proposed Contract or other agreement providing for such Company Superior Proposal and the identity of the Third Party(ies) making the Company Superior Proposal, (ii) if requested by Parent, during such four (4) Business Day period, the Company and its Representatives have discussed and negotiated in good faith with Parent (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) regarding any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement in response to such Company Superior Proposal and (iii) after such four (4) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement, that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would continue to be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that in the event of any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of any such Company Superior Proposal, a new written notification from the Company consistent with that described in clause (i) of this Section 6.02(e) shall be required, and a new notice period under clause (i) of this Section 6.02(e) shall commence, during which notice period the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.02(e) anew, except that such new notice period shall be for two (2) Business Days (as opposed to four (4) Business Days)). After delivery of such written notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of all material developments affecting the material terms of any such Company Superior Proposal (and the Company shall provide Parent with copies of any additional written materials received that provide for or that are material to such Company Superior Proposal).

Section 6.04 Cooperation as to Certain Indebtedness. Parent or one of its Subsidiaries may (a) commence any of the following: (i) one or more offers to purchase any or all of the outstanding debt issued under the Indentures for cash (the “Offers to Purchase”); or (ii) one or more offers to exchange any or all of the outstanding debt issued under the Indentures for securities issued by Parent (or its Affiliates) (the “Offers to Exchange”); and (b) solicit the consent of the holders of debt issued under the Indentures regarding certain proposed amendments to the applicable Indenture (the “Consent Solicitations” and, together with the Offers to Purchase and Offers to Exchange, if any, the “Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations”); provided that the closing of any such transaction shall not be consummated until the Closing and any such transaction shall be funded using consideration provided by Parent. Any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations shall be made on such terms and conditions (including price to be paid and conditionality) as are proposed by Parent and which are permitted by the terms of the applicable Indenture and applicable Laws, including SEC rules and regulations.

The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their Representatives to, provide all reasonable and customary cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Parent in writing to assist Parent in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations (including, but not limited to, upon Parent’s written request, using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s independent accountants to provide customary consents for use of their reports to the extent required in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations) (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries); provided that neither the Company nor counsel for the Company shall be required to furnish any certificates, legal opinions or negative assurance letters in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations (other than, in connection with the execution of any Company Supplemental Indenture relating to the Consent Solicitations, with respect to which the Company shall (x) deliver customary officer’s certificates (a “Company Indenture Officers’ Certificate”) and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause counsel for the Company to deliver customary legal opinions to the trustee under the applicable Indenture in the form required by Section 10.3 of the applicable Indenture (a “Company Opinion of Counsel”), if the trustee under the applicable Indenture that the Company Supplemental Indenture amended requires an opinion of counsel to the Company thereunder, to the extent such certificates and opinions would not conflict with applicable Laws and would be accurate in light of the facts and circumstances at the time delivered) or execute any other instruments or agreements in connection therewith other than the Company Supplemental Indenture described in the immediately preceding sentence. The dealer manager, solicitation agent, information agent, depositary or other agent retained in connection with any Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations will be selected by Parent, retained by Parent, and their fees and out-of-pocket expenses will be paid directly by Parent. If, at any time prior to the completion of the Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, discovers any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Debt Offer Documents, so that the Debt Offer Documents shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, such party that discovers such information shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement prepared by Parent describing such information shall be disseminated to the holders of the applicable notes, debentures or other debt securities of the Company outstanding under the applicable Indenture. The consummation of any or all of the Company Note Offers and Consent Solicitations shall not be a condition to Closing.

Section 6.05 Abraxis CVR Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval (the “Parent Approval Time”) (and in no event after the Parent Approval Time), the Board of Directors of Parent receives a bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof which has not resulted from a violation of this Section 7.02, the Board of Directors of Parent, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (x) contact the Third Party that has made such Parent Acquisition Proposal in order to ascertain facts or clarify terms for the sole purpose of the Board of Directors of Parent informing itself about such Parent Acquisition Proposal and such Third Party and (y) subject to compliance with this Section 7.02(b), Section 7.02(c) and Section 7.02(e), (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party that, subject to Parent’s compliance with Section 7.02(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a Parent Superior Proposal or an unsolicited bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Superior Proposal, (ii) furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources nonpublic information relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with confidentiality and use provisions no less favorable and other provisions no less favorable in the aggregate, in each case, to Parent than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, a copy of which shall be provided, promptly after its execution, to the Company for informational purposes; provided that all such non-public information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to the Company) is provided or made available to the Company, as the case may be, substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party and (iii) following receipt of a Parent Superior Proposal after the date of this Agreement, (A) make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (B) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01(c)(iii) to enter into a definitive agreement providing for such Parent Superior Proposal, but in the case of this clause (iii) only if the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors of Parent from (x) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) under the 1934 Act with regard to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 7.02, or (y) making any required disclosure to the stockholders of Parent if the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with Applicable Law; provided that any Parent Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Parent Acquisition Proposal may only be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.02(b), Section 7.02(c) and Section 7.02(e). A “stop, look and listen” disclosure or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act shall not be a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change.

(c) In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 7.02(b), the Board of Directors of Parent shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 7.02(b) unless Parent shall have first delivered to the Company written notice advising the Company that Parent intends to take such action. Parent shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than forty eight (48) hours) after receipt by Parent (or any of its Representatives) of any Parent Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that, to the knowledge of Parent, is reasonably likely to make or has made any Parent Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall be provided in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Parent Acquisition Proposal or request. Parent shall thereafter (x) keep the Company reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of any material changes in the status and details of any such Parent Acquisition Proposal or request and (y) as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than twenty four (24) hours after receipt) provide to the Company copies of all material correspondence and written materials sent or provided to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that describes any terms or conditions of any Parent Acquisition Proposal (as well as written summaries of any material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions of any Parent Acquisition Proposal).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the Parent Approval Time (and in no event after the Parent Approval Time), the Board of Directors of Parent may effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Parent Intervening Event if the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided that (i) Parent shall first notify the Company in writing of its intention to take such action, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Company Intervening Event, (ii) if requested by the Company, Parent and its Representatives shall discuss and negotiate in good faith with the Company and its Representatives (to the extent that the Company desires to so negotiate) during the four (4) Business Day period following such notice regarding any proposal by the Company to amend the terms of this Agreement in response to such Parent Intervening Event, and (iii) the Board of Directors of Parent shall not effect any Parent Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Parent Intervening Event unless, after the four (4) Business Day period described in the foregoing clause (ii), the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account any proposal by the Company to amend the terms of this Agreement during such four (4) Business Day period, that the failure to take such action would continue to be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(e) Without limiting or affecting Section 7.02(a), Section 7.02(b) or Section 7.02(c), the Board of Directors of Parent shall not make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to a Parent Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Parent Superior Proposal unless (i) Parent first notifies the Company, in writing at least four (4) Business Days before taking such action, that Parent intends to take such action, which notice attaches the most current version of each proposed Contract or other agreement providing for such Parent Superior Proposal and the identity of the Third Party(ies) making the Parent Superior Proposal, (ii) if requested by the Company, during such four (4) Business Day period, Parent and its Representatives have discussed and negotiated in good faith with the Company (to the extent that the Company desires to so negotiate) regarding any proposal by the Company to amend the terms of this Agreement in response to such Parent Superior Proposal and (iii) after such four (4) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account any proposal by the Company to amend the terms of this Agreement, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would continue to be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that in the event of any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of any such Parent Superior Proposal, a new written notification from Parent consistent with that described in clause (i) of this Section 7.02(e) shall be required, and a new notice period under clause (i) of this Section 7.02(e) shall commence, during which notice period Parent shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.02(e) anew, except that such new notice period shall be for two (2) Business Days (as opposed to four (4) Business Days)). After delivery of such written notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of all material developments affecting the material terms of any such Parent Superior Proposal (and Parent shall provide the Company with copies of any additional written materials received that provide for or that are material to such Parent Superior Proposal).

(f) “Parent Superior Proposal” means any bona fide, written Parent Acquisition Proposal (other than a Parent Acquisition Proposal which has resulted from a violation of this Section 7.02) (with all references to “twenty percent (20%)” in the definition of Parent Acquisition Proposal being deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%)”) on terms that the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Parent Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of Parent considers to be appropriate (including the identity of the Person making the Parent Acquisition Proposal and the expected timing and likelihood of consummation, any governmental or other approval requirements (including divestitures and entry into other commitments and limitations), break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions, conditions to consummation and the availability of necessary financing (including, if a cash transaction (in whole or in part), the availability of such funds and the nature, terms and conditionality of any committed financing), would result in a transaction (i) that, if consummated, is more favorable to Parent’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger (taking into account any proposal by the Company to amend the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) that is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed, taking into account the identity of the Person making the Parent Acquisition Proposal, any approval requirements and all other financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such Parent Acquisition Proposal.

(g) “Parent Intervening Event” means any material event, fact, change, effect, development or occurrence that (i) was not known, or the material consequences of which were not known, in each case to the Board of Directors of Parent as of or prior to the date of this Agreement and (ii) does not relate to or involve any Parent Acquisition Proposal.

(h) Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to and its and its Subsidiaries’ directors and officers to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Parent Acquisition Proposal or with respect to any indication, proposal or inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Acquisition Proposal and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such party (and any of its Representatives) in possession of confidential information about Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of Parent to return or destroy all such information.

Section 7.03 Obligations of Merger Sub. Until the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall at all times be the direct or indirect owner of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause each of Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall execute and deliver a written consent of Merger Sub adopting this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 7.04 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) For a period of not less than six years from the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any applicable Subsidiary thereof (collectively, the “D&O Indemnifying Parties”), to the fullest extent each such D&O Indemnifying Party is so authorized or permitted by Applicable Law, as now or hereafter in effect, to: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each person who is at the date hereof, was previously, or during the period from the date hereof through the date of the Merger Effective Time will be, serving as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as a director, trustee or officer of any other entity or any benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), as now or hereafter in effect, in connection with any D&O Claim and any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, Claim Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) relating to or resulting from such D&O Claim; and (ii) promptly advance to such D&O Indemnified Party any Claim Expenses incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating with respect to any D&O Claim in advance of the final disposition of such D&O Claim, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the D&O Indemnified Party of any Claim Expenses incurred by such D&O Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification and/or advancement, in each case without the requirement of any bond or other security, but subject to the D&O Indemnifying Party’s receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such D&O Indemnified Party to repay such Claim Expenses if it is ultimately determined under Applicable Law that such D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. All rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof and shall inure to the benefit of such Person’s heirs, successors, executors and personal and legal representatives. As used in this Section 7.04: (x) the term “D&O Claim” means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed claim, action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, whether instituted by any party hereto, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, including any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to such D&O Indemnified Party’s duties or service (A) as a director or officer of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary thereof at or prior to the Merger Effective Time (including with respect to any acts, facts, events or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the consideration and approval thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith and any D&O Claim relating thereto) or (B) as a director, trustee or officer of any other entity or any benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (for which such D&O Indemnified Party is or was serving at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at or prior to the Merger Effective Time; and (y) the term “Claim Expenses” means reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and obligations (including experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, legal research, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in (including on appeal) any D&O Claim for which indemnification is authorized pursuant to this Section 7.04(a), including any action relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by a D&O Indemnified Party.

(b) For a period of not less than six (6) years from the Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitations on liability of directors and officers than are set forth in the Company Organizational Documents, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of at least six (6) years from the Merger Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party, unless any modification or amendment is required by Applicable Law (but then only to the minimum extent required by Applicable Law). At the Company’s option and expense, prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company may purchase (and pay in full the aggregate premium for) a six (6)-year prepaid “tail” insurance policy (which policy by its express terms shall survive the Merger) of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the covered individuals as the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy or policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Merger Effective Time for D&O Claims arising from facts, acts, events or omissions that occurred on or prior to the Merger Effective Time; provided that the premium for such tail policy shall not exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual amounts currently paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance (such amount being the “Maximum Premium”). If the Company fails to obtain such tail policy prior to the Merger Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall obtain such a tail policy; provided, however, that the premium for such tail policy shall not exceed the Maximum Premium; provided, further, that if such tail policy cannot be obtained or can be obtained only by paying aggregate annual premiums in excess of the Maximum Premium, Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to obtain as much coverage as can be obtained by paying an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause any such policy (whether obtained by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation) to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor all its obligations thereunder.

(c) If any of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company, partnership or other Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) liquidates, dissolves or winds-up, or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.04.

Section 7.05 Employee Matters.

(a) From the Closing Date through the one (1) year anniversary thereof (the “Compensation Continuation Period”), the Surviving Corporation shall provide, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to each individual who is employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, while such individual continues to be employed by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries (including Subsidiaries of the Surviving Corporation) during the Compensation Continuation Period (collectively, the “Affected Employees”) (i) a base salary or wage rate that is not less than the base salary or wage rate provided to such Affected Employee immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, (ii) cash incentive compensation (including bonus opportunity and other cash incentive compensation opportunities) and equity incentive compensation no less favorable in the aggregate than the cash incentive compensation (including bonus opportunity and other cash incentive compensation opportunities) and equity incentive compensation provided to such Affected Employee immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, and (iii) severance benefits in amounts and on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than those provided to the Affected Employees immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, as set forth in the Company’s Severance Pay Plans disclosed to Parent before the date hereof. From the Closing Date through December 31, 2019, Affected Employees shall be provided with employee benefits substantially similar in the aggregate than the employee benefits provided to such Affected Employee under the Company Employee Plans immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time; provided that, for purposes of determining that such employee benefits are no less favorable in the aggregate, defined benefit pension plan benefits, retention or change in control payments or awards provided by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Merger Effective Time shall not be taken into account.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan in which any Affected Employee first becomes eligible to participate on or after the Merger Effective Time (the “New Company Plans”), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) waive all pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Affected Employee under any New Company Plan that is a health plan in which such Affected Employee may be eligible to participate after the Merger Effective Time, and (ii) if applicable, cause to be credited, in any New Company Plan that is a health plan in which Affected Employees participate, any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Affected Employee and such Affected Employee’s eligible beneficiaries and dependents during the portion of the calendar year in which the Merger Effective Time occurs prior to such Affected Employee’s commencement of participation in such New Company Plan providing health benefits with the objective that there be no double counting during the year in which the Merger Effective Time occurs of such deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses. Parent shall recognize service of Affected Employees (to the extent credited by the Company or its Subsidiaries) accrued prior to the Merger Effective Time for all purposes under (but not for the purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan) any New Company Plan in which such Affected Employees may be eligible to participate after the Merger Effective Time, provided, however, that in no event shall any credit be given to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(c) Parent agrees that, with respect to the annual cash incentive plans set forth on Section 7.05(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Annual Incentive Plans”), it shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to provide each participant in an Annual Incentive Plan (each an “Incentive Plan Participant”) who remains employed with the Surviving Corporation through the end of the year during which the Closing occurs, with an annual cash incentive award for the year during which the Closing occurs, the amount of which shall be determined as the product of (i) the sum of the following: (a) a pro-rated portion of the bonus with respect to the portion of the year of the Closing that occurs prior to the Closing, which bonus shall be determined based upon actual corporate performance through the Closing Date, as determined by the Company prior to the Merger Effective Time plus (b) a pro-rated portion of the bonus with respect to the portion of the year of the Closing that occurs after the Closing, which bonus shall be no less than the bonus payable at the applicable Incentive Plan Participant’s target incentive level under such Annual incentive Plan, multiplied by (ii) the Incentive Plan Participant’s individual performance multiplier determined in accordance with the terms of the Annual Incentive Plan; provided that, contingent upon the execution and non-revocation of a customary release of claims in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to Parent and does not contain any restrictive covenants, each Incentive Plan Participant who experiences a termination of employment on or after the Closing due to death or disability (as defined in the Company’s long-term disability plan), or with respect to which such Incentive Plan Participant is eligible to receive severance benefits under any Company Employee Plan or applicable Law, shall be entitled to the prorated payment of the amount that would otherwise have been payable under this Section 7.05(c)(i) (i.e., without applying the individual performance multiplier referred to in clause (ii)); and provided, further, that in no event shall payment of any amounts under the Annual Incentive Plans (or any pro-rated portion thereof) pursuant to this Section 7.05(c) result in the duplication of payments to any Incentive Plan Participant under any other incentive, severance or other similar arrangement.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 7.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied (i) shall cause either Parent or any of its Affiliates to be obligated to continue to employ any Person, including any Affected Employees, for any period of time following the Merger Effective Time, (ii) shall prevent Parent or its Affiliates from revising, amending or terminating any Company Employee Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or policy in effect from time to time, (iii) shall be construed as an amendment of any Company Employee Plan or Parent Employee Plan, or (iv) shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any director, officer, employee or individual Person, including any present or former employee, officer, director or individual independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent of such individual).

Section 7.06 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or shall use reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to obtain the Debt Financing including (i) using reasonable best efforts to (A) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and in all material respects comply with all of their respective obligations thereunder and (B) negotiate, enter into and deliver the definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions not less favorable in the aggregate, to Parent than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including, as necessary, the “market flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) by the Closing Date, and (ii) using reasonable best efforts to satisfy (or if determined advisable by Parent, obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing within Parent’s (or its Subsidiary’s) control and to comply with all of its obligations pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters or other definitive agreements related thereto to the extent the failure to comply with such obligations would adversely impact the timing of the Closing or the availability at the Closing of sufficient aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that all conditions to funding the commitments contained in the Debt Commitment Letters have been satisfied, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to cause the Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses on the Closing Date. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce all of its rights under the Debt Commitment Letters. Parent and/or Merger Sub shall pay, or cause to be paid, as the same shall become due and payable, all fees and other amounts under the Debt Commitment Letters.

(b) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable and such portion is necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except in accordance with the express terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters, including as a result of the entry into definitive agreements for a “Qualifying Term Loan Facility” under the applicable Debt Commitment Letters with commitments subject to substantially the same conditions as those set forth in the applicable Debt Commitment Letters or unless concurrently replaced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by commitments subject to substantially the same conditions as those set forth in the applicable Debt Commitment Letters from other Financing Sources or from proceeds of other sources of financing or cash), Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative debt financing for any such portion from alternative debt sources on terms and conditions, taken as a whole, no less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (taking into account any “market flex” provisions thereof) and in an amount that will still enable Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Alternative Financing”), and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor. If obtained, Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all commitment letters and other definitive agreements (including redacted copies of fee letters, removing only fee amounts, the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” provisions and certain other economic terms (none of which could adversely affect the amounts, availability, timing or conditionality of the Debt Financing)) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide Parent or the Surviving Corporation with Alternative Financing.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), permit any amendment, modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, any Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement related thereto unless the terms of such Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement related thereto, in each case as so amended, modified or waived, are substantially similar to those in such Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement related thereto, prior to giving effect to such amendment, modification or waiver (other than economic terms, which shall be as good as or better for Parent and Merger Sub than those in such Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement relating thereto prior to giving effect to such amendment, modification or waiver); provided that in the case of amendments or modifications or waivers of any Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive agreement relating thereto, such amendment, modification or waiver would not reasonably be expected to (i) (A) add additional conditions precedent that would adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Parent or Merger Sub timely consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Parent or Merger Sub timely consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (B) make the timely funding of the Debt Financing or the satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing materially less likely to occur, (ii) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing or (iii) materially and adversely affect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements relating thereto, it being understood and agreed that in any event, Parent may amend any of the Debt Commitment Letters or any definitive agreement relating thereto to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities that have not executed such Debt Commitment Letters as of such time and consent to the assignment of lending commitments under the Debt Commitment Letters to other lenders.

(d) Parent shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of the receipt of any notice or other communication from any Financing Source with respect to such Financing Source’s failure or anticipated failure to fund its commitments under any Debt Commitment Letter or definitive agreement in connection therewith in a manner that would reasonably be expected to render it unable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ efforts to consummate the Debt Financing, including providing copies of any amendment, modification or replacement of the Debt Commitment Letter (provided that any fee letter may be redacted to remove fee amounts, the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” provisions and certain other economic terms (none of which could adversely affect the amounts, availability, timing or conditionality of the Debt Financing)). Parent shall give the Company prompt notice of any (i) material breach or material default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letters or the definitive agreements related thereto of which Parent obtains knowledge, (ii) actual or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing withdrawal, repudiation, or termination of any of the Debt Commitment Letters or such definitive agreements, or (iii) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any of the Debt Commitment Letters or such definitive agreements with respect to the obligations to fund the Debt Financing or the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded at Closing.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent expressly acknowledges and agrees that Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations hereunder are not conditioned in any manner upon Parent or Merger Sub obtaining any financing.

Section 7.07 New CVR Agreement. At or immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, Parent will execute and deliver, and Parent will cause the New CVR Trustee to execute and deliver, the New CVR Agreement, subject to any changes to the New CVR Agreement that are requested by the New CVR Trustee and approved prior to the Merger Effective Time by Parent and the Company (which approval, in the case of the Company, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Article VIII

COVENANTS OF PARENT AND THE COMPANY

The parties hereto agree that:

Section 8.01 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) All information furnished pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the letter agreement, dated as of November 23, 2018 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Parent and the Company. Upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours during the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Merger Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, solely for purposes of furthering the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or integration planning relating thereto, (i) the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and its Representatives, reasonable access, to all of its properties, books, contracts and records, and (ii) the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Parent all other information not made available pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.01(a) concerning its businesses, properties and personnel as the other may reasonably request (in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). During such period described in the immediately preceding sentence, upon reasonable notice and subject to Applicable Law and during normal business hours, the Company shall instruct its pertinent Representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent in its review of any such information provided or made available pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. No information or knowledge obtained in any review or investigation pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company or Parent pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 11.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile or by email with .pdf attachments, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect, and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 11.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof.

Section 11.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.13 Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law (a) for any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that, except where this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 10.01, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages, and each party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The parties further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 11.13, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement, including, subject to Section 10.03(f), monetary damages in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 11.13 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (y) nothing contained in this Section 11.13 shall require any party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 11.13 before exercising any termination right under Section 10.01 (and/or pursuing damages), nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 11.13 or anything contained in this Section 11.13 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company or Parent be entitled to both (i) specific performance to cause the other party to consummate the Closing and (ii) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee, as applicable.
